Very sensible.

This speaks a lot about Asian societies and the falling birth rates in them. Let's get one thing straight that Korea and the rest of Asia are still very much a patriarchal society where men are expected to be "head of household". Women who work and want to pursue a career are expected to drop all that once they have children. This may have been fantastic two hundred years ago, but times have changed and women now have to face a real key decision about their lives; do they become mothers or do they put their careers first. There is a growing trend in Japan, Korea, and the rest of Asia amongst women that marriage and children are simply not worth it at the end if they have to give up their sense of self. Unless these countries do... A LOT MORE to ensure that a women can go back to their career, not get passed up for promotion, and still be a mother these countries will continue to face declining birth rates.
